Good or bad, it's really not important anymore... coz diff ppl seems to have diff view what it shud be priced at... but right now i think most of us just need to know...

a lot of us are waiting, to make the decision to continue to pursue this car.... it's just unfair to make all of us wait... delay after delay.... Sept 11 to Q4 11 to Dec 11 to Feb 12.......

yea thatz the whole unfair marketing gimmick that's pissing me off.... let me know earlier so i can go for something...

just want to say, becareful when u "fish" ur consumer.... it might fire back at u....

please bring the discussion back to Elantra.....

can't wait to be dissapointed by the price?

definitely!

i mean at the end of the day, it boils down to branding and mind set loh.

Forte in Malaysia is called Naza Forte or KIA Forte ah?

On a separate note.... wah... this one bila datang? I like leh... but most likely price will kill it again.......

seriously ure ready to pay for an inokom elantra 1.6 for > 100k?

korean vs jap make

th 1.6 also not doing well mah.. heck mazda 3 is not doing v well... only the hardcore fans wud get it lo... probably same like the elantra...

as far as the rumors are spreading now, tarak cbu. sokmo ckd to inokom.

have you seen the inokom car already?

yea... sonata half a page... elantra 2 full page of the 2ndary section..

unlikely. expect an unpleasant suprise.

awards and review written else where won't necessarily fit our situation...

like i said before, it has won good review and award not bcoz its a great car, but a good car at a good price. cheaper than its competitors. feature packed (which some are useless for us like heated rear seats). design wise, its really subjective, so lets not talk bout it for now. hyundai also has high resale value in US, due to brand image.

none of the above is valid for us.

affordability n spending money wisely are 2 different things. if u fail to understand this, chances are ur a rich brat who's still spending daddy's money. Or u just fail at managing ur own finance.

if ur rich and don't care bout resale value, good for u. but it matters for a lot of ppl.

and... wud u buy it at 120K? u din really answer the question.

i forgot to mention the inokok badge... i dunno bout u... but it gives me the same feeling bout inspira n lancer. same car, but somehow different....

well the discussion was actually about if 120k is reasonable or not. did u miss all that?

whether or not it will change SD's policy, anyone with the right mind or basic common sense wud know the answer.

this is an online forum mind u. its where opinions are voiced out, or debates on different opinions yo. not where decisions are being made.

in this scenario looks like u haf 50k in hand, for a a car that cost 100K.

case 1 better. case 2 is obviously the lousier option, coz ur 2.8% car loan interest is on the basis of 100K. ur FD 3% interest is base on 50k. plus u'll nid to withdraw to service the loan, so ur 50k is getting lesser along the way.

i wud put lesser down payment, n do something else with the money. if make money, then do early settlement. admin charges not a lot....

well either way lesser downpay wud make more sense i guess. but not the mininum i suppose, nid to balance a bit.... as much as u can afford to pay installment for a 5 (max 7) years tenurr i guess

i though hire purchases for cars always have % calculated based on the initial loan amount amortized, and not base on the reducing balance?
